Estate: Father and daughter winemaking team Franco and Giulia Masiero practice minimal intervention, biodynamic and organic viticulture. Located in the Trinté hills between the Dolomites and Venetian plains, the area is known for its limestone and volcanic soils. After revitalizing neighboring vineyards, the duo had the opportunity to make 2 new wines, ‘Moki’ and ‘Lazaro’.
Winemaking: Hand harvested, vines are in calcareous soil, spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts with 3 days skin contact in cement tanks. Second fermentation is started with Senese must. Undisgorged, unfined and unfiltered, no added SO2.
Tasting Notes: Orange in colour, with aromas of Tangerine, apricot, grapefruit, hay, candied ginger and wildflowers. Pink grapefruit, apricot, chalky minerality, trace of mint are glossed by citrus acidity. Fine, consistent fizz runs through to ginger, citrus zest and roasted nuts on the zippy finish. Harmonious and super gluggable.
